Songbirds are not given choices with their life. But our songbird, Judi, did. Not only did she sing like a songbird, she was also a bookworm. Get it?!
Judi's musical accomplishments started with Clay High School Swing Choir, then various choral groups and ensembles while getting a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Library Science degrees from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. After moving to the San Fransisco Bay Area for a number of years, Judi received a Master of Social Work from California State University in Sacramento, CA all the while continuing singing lessons and being involved in local choral groups. After moving back home Judi sang in the South Bend Symphonic Choir, and South Bend Chamber Singers.
Judi endured numerous treatments for cancer in the past 29 years, and yet, she considered this her "journey" doing it with grace and perseverance. Despite the many years of chemotherapy and radiation, Judi continued to sing and perform and enjoy her love of music, books and research.
